STANFORD, Calif. – Redshirt junior Nico Provo has been voted the ACC Wrestler of the Week, the conference announced today.
Provo, who entered last week ranked No. 13 nationally at 125 pounds, scored a takedown with less than 30 seconds remaining in overtime to knock off defending national champion and top-ranked Vincent Robinson of NC State.
It marks the highest-ranked win of Provo’s career. He improves to 7-3 overall and 2-2 in duals this season.
It is the first ACC weekly honor for Provo, who is the third Cardinal to be recognized this season. Provo was also the Pac-12 Wrestler of the Week on Dec. 5, 2023. It is the sixth weekly honor all-time for Stanford as a member of the ACC.
Up next, the Cardinal hits the road for a pair of ACC duals at No. 12 Virginia Tech on Friday at 4 p.m. PT and Virginia on Saturday at 2 p.m. PT.
